About the Book
A unique, practical guide to watercourse law
This comprehensive guide offers complete, readable explanations of the legal issues and evidence procedures related to the location of the property boundaries of lands adjacent to watercourses.
Beginning with a clear examination of the basics of land title and the legal principles defining property boundary movement, it discusses property boundary determination for a broad range of different watercourse environments-including open ocean coast, estuarine areas, tidal rivers, non-tidal rivers and navigable streams, and navigable lakes. This book will equip readers with:
* A basic understanding of the land title and boundary system
* A framework for analyzing disputes about the boundary of property adjacent to a waterbody tailored to the specifics of each type of physical regime
* Insight to recognize when expert consultation is required to resolve a dispute and how to make the consultation useful and productive
* Case studies illustrating the actual application of the laws discussed
Because of its extensive information and easy-to-use format, Water Boundaries is the ideal resource for surveyors and lawyers confronted with riparian or littoral property boundary issues.
